My Uncle gave all his nieces and nephews a Bobby Orr watch in the early 70's. Mine works perfect but the band is missing. What is it worth?
Wow this post is from 13 years ago! Well if anyone is still out there I can comment on this watch. I have one. I got it for Christmas 1970. My uncle got it for me. My understanding was that they were never sold retail - in Canada anyway. The one I got was a promotional item for All Canada Sports and Bobby Orr Enterprises. All Canada Sports was Irv Ungerman's company that was primarily into boxing promotion. They used to put on the major fights via satellite at Maple Leaf Gardens. I'm sure there was a lot more to it than that, but Mr. Ungerman was heavily into boxing. (He managed George Chuvalo and Clyde Grey). The back of my watch is engraved :
All Canada Sports
Bobby Orr Enterprises
Irv and Karl Ungerman
BUT - mine has a typo -- it says IVR !
Anyway, I treasured this watch. I was 14 when I got it and wore it everyday, all through high-school. In those days girls/women only wore those dainty tiny little wee watches, and this was before giant watches came into fashion at all. So I looked kind of weird but I didn't care. Anyway, I don't think there were very many of these watches circulating in Canada, but I still have mine and it works.
